Its WAR!
I dig the advertisement on page 20 entitled, “Reproaches Husband as Cruel”
- “He refused to take me out unless I wore gloves. He was ashamed of my rough dishpan hands,” she sobbed.
Forget Hitler. I still use Ivory Soap. How’z about you?
Dramatic stuff.
I always liked the Onion’s headline.
Or the Numerology column on page 25:
Right. Especially if your plans included a trip to Europe.
I see on page 5, “JAP GOOD WILL WORLD FLYERS REACH SEATTLE”. So perhaps things aren’t so bad in the world.
That headline seems oddly imperative. What if I don’t want to bomb Warsaw?
Could Poland have done anything to avoid the war?
Hmm…and the real question: there are parallels to the start of WWII and the current moves by Putin…frankly somewhat terrifying parallels. Hopefully he’s not as crazy and that diplomatic efforts can diffuse the current situation before we end up in another huge conflict.
This is a great resource. I didn’t realize the Tribune offered free access to its archives.
Here’s an ad from 1947 which seems way ahead of its time:
Sadly it makes no mention of a local mom who is hated by doctors.
Lots of fur coats on sale.

But what about the Ivory Soap ad on page 20, guys? C’mon.
On page 23, “Country Clubs to Be Gay for Long Week-End”. Those country clubs were well ahead of their time, weren’t they?
They shouldn’t have worn that short skirt.
Yes. And did you notice that the first club mentioned was the “Saddle and Cycle club”?
Or one of the baseball headlines - Dykes to Be Suspended.
I expected softball.

I saw that too. But since you brought it up …
Anyone get that Winnie Winkle comic?
Then you would be in line with many in Chicago, then the city with the second largest Polish population after Warsaw. Or it could be some misplaced boosterism by the Trib’s owner, Col McCormick, who always had some weird ideas about making Chicago No. 1.
